LINCOLN—Regulators at the California Air Resources Board (CARB) have agreed to a settlement plan in the lawsuit led by Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers and the Nebraska Trucking Association (NTA) and joined by a coalition of 16 other states. In court documents filed this past Friday, CARB agreed to repeal the Advanced Clean Fleets rules, which were crafted to mandate electric trucks far beyond California’s borders.
While the repeal is in process, CARB also stipulates that it will not enforce any of the existing rules.
CARB also conceded that they cannot enforce California’s 2036 ban on the sale of internal-combustion trucks unless and until the ban receives a Clean Air Act preemption waiver from the U.S.
